Middlesbrough 0-0 Leeds
By the way, I'd love to know what Middlesbrough fans think of their line-up. It looks awfully defensive to me, no? Where's the creativity? You're supposed to be at home!
When you compare and contrast that to Leeds, who have Ezgjan Alioski at full-back...

Middlesbrough 0-0 Leeds
Leeds win an early free-kick for a foul on Patrick Bamford, but Ezgjan Alioski over-hits the set-piece and it lands straight into the arms of the goalkeeper.
Not too much else to report from the opening stages.

Middlesbrough v Leeds (13:00 GMT)
The teams are just making their way out on to the pitch.
Before kick-off there'll be a minute's silence to remember Argentine striker Emiliano Sala, who died when the plane he was travelling in crashed in the English Channel last month.
Both sides will also be wearing black armbands today.
Bamford set for Riverside returnpublished at 12:56 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2019
Middlesbrough v Leeds (13:00 GMT)
Patrick Bamford will make his first Championship start for Leeds United today - against the team he left to join the Whites last summer.
Bamford scored a hat-trick as Middlesbrough beat the Whites at the Riverside in 2017-18 - and now he is hoping to make a similar impact for his current employers.
"I think I owe the Leeds fans three goals," he said.
"It'll be a good game for the fans to watch and hopefully they won't be able to cancel us out. It might come down to a moment of magic."
Player returns can lift Leeds - Bamford
Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford says the players coming back from injury can make up for the lack of January signings.

Three remarkable goals later - including a 94th-minute equaliser from Andre Green - and the game had been turned on its head.
Aston Villa celebrated like they'd won the league, while the Blades were on their knees, desperately trying to fathom what had just happened during those crazy final eight minutes.
Crazy, most certainly. Surprising? Not so much. This is the Championship, after all.
Villa comeback denies Blades top spot
Aston Villa come from 3-0 down to draw with Sheffield United and deny the Blades top spot in the Championship.

At approximately 21:25 yesterday evening, Sheffield United were 3-0 up at Aston Villa and absolutely cruising towards the summit of the Championship table.
Billy Sharp's hat-trick had put the Blades in complete control and, with the home fans pouring out of Villa Park, it was just a question of seeing the game out.
Right?...
